Historical Researcher
Sac and Fox Nation of
Oklahoma
May 17th marks the national
holiday, “Victory Day” for the
Sac and Fox Nation. Victory
Day was declared after the Sac
and Fox Nation had sued the
State of Oklahoma for failing to
recognize the motor vehicle titles and tags issued by our tribe.
With a Native American legal team, including the late Bill
Rice, the late Truman Carter
and Greg Bigler, the case made
it through all levels of the court
system in our favor. The final
decision by the Supreme Court
was unanimous 9-0, siding with
the Sac and Fox Nation. It acknowledged that the State of
Oklahoma would not impose
income taxes or motor vehicle
taxes on Sac and Fox Nation
tribal members.
Thereafter, the State of Oklahoma was to recognize the tags
and titles issued to our tribal members. The Sac and Fox
Nation was victorious for these
reasons. However, Victory Day
comes about for more reasons
than that. This victory was only
possible because of the tribal members who took it upon
themselves to gain the education needed to break the cycles
our tribe was stuck in for generations.
In our history with the U.S.
Government, the Sac and Fox
people were made to believe
that we had lost our sovereignty.
We were told that all of our matters were matters for the Bureau
of Indian Affairs to dictate for us
because we were not living on
a reservation. They told us we
had no governing authority over
our own people. These things
we were made to believe were
never confirmed.
It was in 1980 when our people acted to change that for good.

More than
Winning The
Supreme Court Case
Our council of that time took it
upon themselves to commit to
this fight for all of us: Principal
Chief John R. Thorpe; Second
Chief Gaylon R. Franklin, Sr.;
Secretary/Treasurer Hazel Williamson; Committee Member
Henrietta Massey; Committee
Member Thomas Morris Jr.;
and, Committee Member Alvin
Falls.
In 1982, our Council enacted
new taxation laws that allowed
the tribe to tax oil, gas, sales,
tobacco, and earnings. These
actions taken by our council

paved the way for other tribes
to follow suit. Victory Day for
the Sac and Fox Nation is more
than winning the Supreme Court
case. May 17th is a Sac and Fox
Holiday that acknowledges we
have always had the power to
govern according to our own
laws. It is acknowledging that
we are our own nation. Sac and
Fox Victory Day is set to remind
us of our sovereignty. It is a day
to recognize our strength and resilience.
